we've been trying since 4 months and consulted a gynecologist and found that my wife is not ovulating and prescribe Clomiphene and Metformin. Her periods are regular and my wife starting taking those pills from day 9. Yesterday when we went to doctor for Ultrasound scan, she said that she can see the very small eggs being developed and not sure and asked us to wait for 2-3 days and she told that we came late as normally Clomiphene/Metformin has to be started from day 3.
My concern is that
1) Will not getting ovulated is a problem?
2) Will all women ovulate naturally even without using these pills.
3) How many months do we need to undergo to get pregnant.
it's not abnormal to not ovulate on clomiphene - it happens that some people will not ovulate naturally, and even with clomiphene added in there. given that the pills were not taken until day 9, IF your wife is going to ovulate this cycle, it WILL be late - the norm for taking clomid/clomiphene is days 2-6, 3-7 or 5-9. i have never heard of someone taking them from day 9 before.
if your wife doesn't ovulate, she will not be able to conceive. she will need to be ovulating to fall pregnant. i would suggest you follow up as the doctor has recommended. it can take a couple 12 months or more to fall pregnant when ovulating every cycle - when not ovulating, it can take significantly longer.
there are many problems that can lead to lack of ovulation - and if the doctor is suggesting you try clomid then i would assume that they have agreed your wife is having anovulatory cycles. any cycle in which your wife doesn't ovulate is a cycle in which you cannot conceive - so from that perspective, yes, it's a big problem.
for some people, clomid and metformin will help, but for others (like me) they don't work, and you need to move to other forms of treatment
given that your wife has been put on metformin, i would assume that your wife has polycystic ovaries - and for a lot of people with PCOS, it can be hard to conceive.
trust in your doctor to guide you. there is no guarantee any of it will work - but try everything that they suggest to optimise your chances of having a baby
